A quartet of Shelby Area girls finished in the Top Ten at the Top Times preseason track meet held at EIU on Saturday.

Shelby Jackson, Central A&M; senior, had the best finish of area athletes pitching the shot put 35 feet, 10 inches, good enough for second place in Class A. Senior teammate Lauren Adcock of Central A&M; had the next best showing, placing fifth in the Class A 200 meters with a time of 27.81 seconds.

Katelyn Duckett, Shelbyville senior had a seventh place finish in the Class A mile, running a 5:38.74. The fourth area athlete to crack the Top Ten was sophomore Breeanna Strauch of Cowden-Herrick, placing tenth in the 55 meter hurdles, also cracking ten seconds (9.97).

Three of the girls also finished high enough to score points for their teams. Jackson and Adcock combined to give Central A&M; 12 points and a 30th place finish as a team in Class A. The only team in the greater Decatur Area to finish higher than A&M; was Argenta-Oreana, which finished 22nd (18 points).

Duckett scored two points for Shelbyville with her finish. Shelbyville finished 61st as a team. Strauch's finish kept her out of the finals and didn't get the Hornets any points. There was another Shelby area team that had Top 20 finishes, but no team points.
